There is a reason why we call our directors 'captain of the ship'. A movie might have Crores of rupees spent on it, it might have the biggest of stars, but it is the director who is always responsible for the outcome of a film.

Ultimately, a film industry's success can be attributed to the efforts put in by its directors. In that regard, the future of Tamil cinema is in safe hands as Kollywood is blessed with some amazingly talented young directors who have begun well. These 5 film-makers might go on to rule Tamil cinema in the near future.

Manikandan

As a director, Manikandan might just have one film under his belt, but boy, hasn't he started well? Kaaka Muttai, his first movie was equally poetic and thought-provoking.
